Ron Katchmar and his step-children, Abby Eichmann, 10, and Dylan Eichmann, 12, watch re-enactors row a boat down the Hudson River past the ship the Half Moon  at the Corning Preserve during the Early Albany: A Hudson River Festival event on Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014, in Albany, N.Y.  The ship is a full-scale, operating replica of the Dutch ship of exploration that Henry Hudson sailed up the Hudson River in 1609.   A historical encampment was created on the banks of the Hudson River where visitors could see demonstrations on how Dutch settlers and the Native Americans in the area lived and worked during the early 1600's.  This year was also the 15th annual Fall of Voyage of Discovery, a trip where local school children and Dutch school children sailed the ship up the river, conducting science experiments along the way.
